Manchester police: A convicted felon and drug user fired a bullet into a kids' bedroom.

MANCHESTER — A convicted felon who police said fired a gun into a children's bedroom faces numerous charges.

Nicholas Ibsen, who turned 36 Wednesday, was arrested on 10 charges including two counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm, first-degree reckless endangerment and possession of marijuana and heroin, police said.

Ibsen admitted he accidentally fired a .380-caliber handgun around 1:30 p.m. Monday, Capt. Christopher Davis said. The gun had been reported stolen in Bristol in 2011.

He also had marijuana, 10 packets of heroin, and two baggies of suspected PCP on him, Davis said.

Police were alerted to the shooting on Tuesday, when an Esquire Drive woman said she found a bullet hole in her children's bedroom. The children, ages 12 and 8, were not home when what the gun was fired.

Officers traced the bullet's trajectory to a neighboring apartment, Davis said. They also learned that a second shot had been fired.

They then began to look for the resident of the apartment, Ibsen.

Ibsen later was spotted driving on Lydall Street near Ambassador Drive. When stopped, officers found the drugs on him, police said.
